The #UCPexpanion means everyone can have one, holistic care plan that can provide personalised care rather than several care plans 🙌

Today I head off on maternity leave and so will not be monitoring this twitter account. Look out for Izzy who is taking over and will keep you updated on all the work going on at LAS to support people with a learning disability and autistic people. Exciting times ahead! 🙂

Today we said goodbye to @LAS_LDVS Jess as she heads off on maternity leave and Hello to Isabel (izzy) who will be covering her role as Learning Disability & Vulnerabilities Specialist. Jess has achieved so much and I am sure Izzy will carry on Jess's great work.

Happy Learning Disability Week!

[London Ambulance Service @Ldn_Ambulance]

At #TeamLAS, we know how important it is for everyone in London to get the same high quality level of level of care, without barriers, when they need it.

Our Learning Disabilities and Vulnerability Specialist Jess shares a message for #LearningDisabilityWeek ⬇️

[London Ambulance Service @Ldn_Ambulance]

Last year #TeamLAS attended around 15,900 people with a Learning Disability or Autistic people to provide care.

Our accessible resources help people to know what to expect when we visit them, ensuring they get the care they need in a timely way 💚

[Universal Care Plan for London @LondonUCP]

The UCP team + colleagues from our new use case groups including dementia, frailty, personalised care and learning disabilities and autism, have spent the morning brainstorming the new UCP template. Watch this space!

@Ben_LD_Nurse @RoyalLondonHosp Hi Ben, we are promoting the use of the new Universal Care Plans as a standardised electronic care plan across London and are in the process of starting work with the UCP team to make these more personalised for people with a LD or Autistic people. Happy to catch up and discuss!

[Jessica Howe @LAS_LDVS]

@OcoRory Thanks Rory, we are really excited with moving it forward and how it can continue to develop !
